Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph is headed back to NBA's biggest stage and will represent the franchise in the 2013 NBA All-Star game, scheduled to be played in Houston Feb. 17.

This is Randolph's second career selection to the team; he also played in the 2010 All-Star game. He becomes the first Grizzlies player to earn multiple All-Star appearances. Pau Gasol represented Memphis in 2006 and Marc Gasol did in 2012.

"It is truly an honor to be named by the NBA's coaches to the 2013 Western Conference All-Star team," Randolph said in a statement. "I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to playing with the best players in the world."

Randolph is leading the NBA in double-doubles so far this season, with 27. He averages 16.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.

At the halfway point of the season, the team's record stands at 27-14, the best start in franchise history. The Grizzlies are back at it tonight, taking on the Brooklyn Nets at FedExForum.
